Test Server Problems???

[djr_8fan]

Ok, if its a patch, then they need a patch to fix the patch... cant get on other than through browser. I personally dont like playing through browser.

It would make sense that if it isnt the patch then its the minigames. It was Thrusday the 22nd that they announced them to the world on Disney Channel in that Get Connected interview. And by them doing that, makes a lot of non testers anxious for them to be added.

I'm gonna try again tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully no more being sent to the bug report or losing internet connection...

Sometimes Devs will invoke the update but not turn on the various new content/systems yet. They want to see how it affects the users' computer systems first. Later when their data shows that the client-server handshakes are stable, they will start "allowing" users access to various new updated areas.

About 30% of the games I've tested do it this way. The other 70% just open up the content and get tons of bugs all at once.

When it dumped me to the Report a Bug webpage, I perused the Game Log information. I found that it choked on:
:Launcher: Starting Pirates Online...
:04-29-2010 0054 :express: Could not read certificates.txt.
:04-29-2010 0054 :express: Could not read gameserver.txt.
:LoginScreen: Login failed: Bad Version Compare
(Sever is 1.0.24.8, client is 1.0.23.8) Connection Rejected.

On my account/computer: Live is version 1.0.24.8 per Live Login screen. Test client is listed as 1.0.23.8. Test version is listed as...well, I won't type that here. I don't know who can peruse this forum section.

I wonder if these are also choking your entry from the desktop login?
